WHICH PLUGS/ WIRES/ AIR FILTER?

HI ALL....I AM PURCHASING NEW PLUGS AND WIRES FOR MY TBI 305 THIS WEEKEND (MAYBE TODAY . JUST WONDERING WHAT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS ON THE BEST KIND. LOOKING FOR A LOT OF BANG, NOT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT FUEL MILEAGE. ALSO, ONE THING I'VE BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT FOR YEARS, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD IT ARGUED BOTH WAYS. IS IT BETTER FOR YOUR ENGINE TO KEEP A DIRTY AIR FILTER ON?? I REALIZE YOU DON'T WANT TO RESTRICT YOUR AIR COMING IN.....THANKS

AC Delco plugs.
Pick whatever wires you want. I like Taylor wires, variety of colors, hold up decent, not bad resistance. There's a lot of rave about MSD wires but the boots suck and the variable angle boot things dont work.
Run a clean filter. Some claim more power, I dont buy it. It might be a couple and thats the kind of thing you'll never notice.

You arent going to notice any difference unless you're replacing worn parts. There's no magic plugs/wires/air filters out there that are going to make your car super fast.
